MEDITERRANEAN SUMMER BREEZE SHRIMP APPETIZER
You and your friend have been Island hopping around the Mediterranean and are now visiting the beautiful Greek Island of Mykonos. You have spent a good part of the day walking around the village, photographing windmills, white-washed houses, people, the shoreline... checking out gift shops.... it was a very hot day! So now in the late afternoon you are sitting at a quaint outdoor café overlooking the bay, watching the sail boats go by...the summer breeze is so nice. In the far distance you can hear the tune of "The Lemon Tree" song. A mouth watering tasty shrimp appetizer with lemon and hot spices is just what you have been craving for. You place your order and then you and your friend start singing; "Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat...". Enjoy!

HOMEMADE BARBECUE SHRIMP APPETIZER
A simple, delicious appetizer that can be changed up so easily. This recipe has shrimp. It is also wonderful with boneless spareribs, chicken and especially scallops. The secret is the easy no cook sauce. You will not be sorry. You may never by jarred barbecue sauce again.
